Fall Line Outfitters

The SPACVB has been such an awesome partner for Fall Line Outfitters Co. They immediately reached out to me as I started my business in the downtown of Stevens Point and made sure I knew they were there for me in support and promotion of my business. I absolutely love the booklets, brochures and brick and mortar they provide for out-of-town travelers.

Great Northern Distilling

Great Northern Distilling partnered early on with the Stevens Point Area CVB. From helping our business with data during our planning stages to promoting us as a member of the Central Wisconsin Craft Collective, they have been the most effective investment we've made. They are more than just a destination marketing group, but are an engine for growth and change in the region.
